Description
- Smite is a non-chemical powder produced from silica-shelled fossilised diatoms.
- The powder is particularly effective against red mite and lice normally associated with poultry and game birds.
- Also used to control insects such as ants, cockroaches and termites and especially those associated with domestic pets such as lice, fleas and ticks.
- In this context it is very safe to use with domestic birds and animals as it is approved for use in animal feed.
- Smite powder abrades and absorbs the protective waxy surface of the insects in a purely physical action causing them to dessicate.
- Ensure that the insects / lice / red mites make contact with the powder by sprinkling it at the area affected and around areas where the insects may be living.
- Not for human consumption
